Corey Campbell presents design for new rental units in fire district

Harrisville City is moving forward with plans for a new multi-tenant building designed to accommodate various businesses, following a recent meeting of the City Planning Commission on June 11, 2025. The proposed structure will feature individual rented units, each measuring 2,500 square feet, with a total of 60 units planned. Each unit will include a garage bay door and a storefront glass entry, allowing for flexible office and warehouse space tailored to tenant needs.

Corey Campbell, the project representative, detailed the design, which includes a single-slope steel building structure. The project has already received approval from the local fire department, which has mandated the installation of a fire sprinkler system and fire-rated partition walls between units to ensure safety.

The parking plan includes five stalls per unit, with provisions for additional handicap parking as required. The design also incorporates landscaping elements, although some areas will remain gravel due to water retention considerations.

This development is expected to enhance local business opportunities and contribute to the economic growth of Harrisville. The Planning Commission's approval marks a significant step toward the realization of this project, which aims to provide flexible and functional spaces for a variety of tenants. As the project progresses, further details on landscaping and final designs will be finalized to meet community standards and needs.
